England qualify for the last 16 of the World Cup to face Senegal thanks to a 3-0 win over Wales, who leave the tournament with just one point. England dominated the match from start to finish. Rashford had a first-time shot that Ward saved from a one-on-one, and Foden also had a few clear chances.

England laid siege to the Welsh box, who were just holding on. Williams was injured and Roberts came on before half-time. At half-time Bale was left on the bench. And after the break came England's gale-force. Rashford scored a wonderful free-kick and a minute later Foden scored a second.

Wales could not recover from the double blow and Rashford scored the third, completing his brace with a shot that Ward could not have done more about. Wales tried until the end to score one and England, already with many changes, looked for the fourth. And so the two sides ended the group stage. Rashford himself scored the third from a one-on-one move in which Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward failed to clear the ball into the net after a weak clearance.

The English, who began their Qatar campaign with a 6-2 thumping of Iran before stumbling to a 0-0 draw with the USA, will face Senegal in the next round. The Welsh team bow out of the World Cup with this defeat, which comes after a draw with the USA and a loss to Iran. In the other Group B match, the USA beat Iran (0-1) to advance to the Round of 16 as runners-up, where they will face the Netherlands.

Henderson spoke to Gareth Bale

At the end of the match that ended 3-0, Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, who made his first start of the World Cup in Qatar, approached Gareth Bale in an image that lent itself to various interpretations as some believed he approached him to mock him and others thought he was simply being chivalrous in greeting him.
